Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes I did @Shaz51. Have just such impeccable timing

Glad to see the specialist was happy. A bit of good news is GREAT news!

When is your appointment with the Dietician?

This weekend is going to be interesting. Family are all coming down for the big 50th wedding anniversary. Still uncertain if my partner is going to show up or not. So hoping and trying keep positive that he is! Will need to give him a call later to just ask as need make the arrangements. Hope he does not tell me off!

On a side note - preparing for a proposal to do some work for a NFP that supports people with mental health and their carers. Came across a new term NDIS and googled it to understand it and what it is about. Very interesting initiative. I guess you don't really know about all these offerrings and organisations unless you need to get involved in it in some way.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Did I read that right @Shaz51...March? That is a while a way. I assume the dietician is to help you tailor your diet for you health right? Do hope you get one at the hospital xx

Thanks my friend xx Have my fingers and toes super crossed. But let's hope we don't cramps from crossing them for too long Ok that is just me being silly now!

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Ha ha @Anony18, I can cross my toes and fingers xx,

AH @Anony18, I have not heard from the dietician since February -- 10 months ago --aarrgggg

Feels like you are all on your own

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Ha ha @Shaz51 - Fingers I can cross. My toes are a bit of an issue. I have come to realised I have quite spread out toes. The realisation came when a friend's husband told her I didn't have very nice feet It didn't really bother me that much cause I know we all have our imperfections. But I was talking to my friends and we were comparing our feet! Yes very random topic of convo but that is what close friends are for!

10 months ago?! That is a long time. Should they not be following up in the interest of your health? I will be crossing my fingers and (slightly spread out) toes really hard that you get an appointment soon! xx
